So many beads, so little time, but this pastime keeps me busy as a bee.and happy doing it. Thursday, August 27, 2009. Blogging, Traffic, and Comments. I initially started my blogs to learn how to do them. Since then I confess I am now wanting someone to read them occasionally, so I am hoping to get some comments. I realize that in order to do this I need to get some traffic, yet I know my blog pales in comparison to the plethora of very professional looking blogs. The pictures show the front and the back...

Riverlea Beads: Beginner's Bracelet.
http://riverleabeads.blogspot.com/2012/08/beginners-bracelet.html
So many beads, so little time, but this pastime keeps me busy as a bee.and happy doing it. Saturday, August 4, 2012. I needed an easy project for a workshop I am doing for some friends who have never beaded, but they sew. I find people who sew pick up beading fairly easily, probably because they can manage a needle! Guess what, I think I figured it out with the help of the internet. The pattern should be here. Pattern for La Permiere, by Shelley, Riverlea Beads. Please let me know how you like the pattern.

So many beads, so little time, but this pastime keeps me busy as a bee.and happy doing it. Saturday, January 16, 2010.

A great Spanish site that was referenced recently in Ile aux perles is called Quienlodira Creationes. Thursday, January 14, 2010. This worked up ver...
